N556QS

This airframe, registered as N556QS, is a 2005-built airframe with manufacturer serial number 560-5553, a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS line. Owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, the aircraft appears in U.S. civil registers under a corporate owner/operator structure and carries a typical large-fraction owner/operator provenance. The airframe’s registry and operator location indicate an Oklahoma City administrative base while operational deployment can be expected across the NETJETS network. Valuation records cite a market value of $4,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and corporate ownership status.

The aircraft is outfitted in an executive layout typical of operator configuration, commonly presenting 8–10 passenger executive seating while the aircraft registry lists a maximum of 13 seats; the cabin configuration supports corporate and charter mission profiles. Avionics are fitted with Honeywell Primus-class systems consistent with the Citation XLS family’s typical equipment fit, enabling advanced flight management and situational awareness for high-utilization corporate operations. With a transcontinental-ish range of 2,110 nm and cruise speed near 433 kts, the airframe is suited to medium-haul point-to-point missions, including business shuttles, fractional owner flights, and regional charters operated from the owner’s Oklahoma City base. As a fleet aircraft under a corporate owner, maintenance and dispatch cycles would typically follow fractional/operator standards and centralized program maintenance schedules.

As a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS family, Cessna (Textron Aviation) produced this model to occupy the light-to-midsize business jet niche with a blend of cabin comfort and efficient short-field performance. Competing models in its class include other light midsize business jets offering similar speed and ceiling characteristics; demand is typically driven by fractional ownership and charter operators. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2005 airframe with a PW545B engine pair and Honeywell Primus-class avionics emphasize records continuity, refurbishment of executive interiors, and adherence to corporate program maintenance to preserve the cited $4,000,000 valuation.
